Uh...Any chance the EA vs. Sega War comes to a halt this year?

Huh?

Anybody?

Yes? No? Maybe so?

Ok.


It will never die.

Quite frankly P2K, it shouldn't die, for all of us at work it makes for some sort of mindless entertainment. The quote about while us real men play Madden was worth the price of admission! Here's a new slogan... Buy Madden, the Manly game!

Madden has the sales that go along with the reputation. Gamers have probably gotten burned too many times in the past trying to experiment with of NFL Titles. Until ESPN came along, how many successful sim football series were there besides Madden? Gameday had 1 good year on the PS1. I don't blame people for sticking with what works. It's up to Sega to AGGRESSIVELY get their name out which they are FINALLY doing this year.

I think that's very well put. I'm really interested to see ESPN's TV commercials this year. I don't want to see players staring and then screaming into mirrors (2k3), I don't want to see tracey morgan (2k4), I want to see them use 99.9% of that commercial for gameplay. EA, simply put, makes awesome commercials. They can afford to make their commercials more entertaining instead of informative because of brand recognition. Nonetheless, I still think they end up showing more gameplay footage in their commercials than ESPN does. I think Sega has finally recognized this, thus their partnership with Take 2.

This has been a problem for years with Sega. Showing 3 seconds of gameplay is not showing the product to the masses. General Consensus is that they have the better graphics, why not show the public? Let them see for themselves.

The manly game, lol, holy jeepers dude, you are a friggin stand up comedian with that approach, the Manly game, dude, if you look at the age and the people buying Madden, its a majority of kids who have no clue about football, coz you needed to strategy to play 2004. Madden doesn't challange it tickles, lol, you know its true, Madden is the the Little League of videogame football bro, ESPN is more realistic, and you know this. I have had plenty of friends who could sit down and pick up and play with Madden, ans enjoy it, I am not saying Madden is a bad game, its fun, but not Manly, ESPN is for the pros. So here is your new Slogan, Madden...A GAME EVERYONE CAN ENJOY!, and for ESPN.....ARE YOU READY TO BE CHALLANGED!
